Things To Do

Our Favorite’s on Maui

  • Whalers Village- An open-air shopping and dining center right on Ka’anapali Beach, with plenty of great spots to eat and shop. Monkeypod, Leilanis, and the Hula Grill are three of our favorite restaurants. For coffee and breakfast, Island Vintage Coffee is the best; for an acai bowl or smoothie, Choice Health Bar is our favorite. There is also a food court with quick-casual options.

  • Black Rock on Ka’anapali Beach - Great snorkeling spot and a nightly cliff diving ceremony at sunset. We highly recommend checking it out! Located at the northern end of Kaanapali Beach in front of the Sheraton hotel.

  • Sunset Cruise- A catamaran sunset sail that picks you up right on Ka’anapali beach! The Sea Maui is our favorite, but the Trilogy or Teralani are great options for a sunset sail as well! They also offer snorkel tours which are great too! One of our favorite things to do on Maui; it's always so relaxing and beautiful to be out on the water, especially during sunset!

  • Kapalua Coastal Trail- A scenic, easily accessible 2-mile (one-way) walk stretching between Kapalua Bay and DT Fleming Beach.

  • Merrimans Kapalua- The most stunning oceanfront restaurant on Kapalua Bay (Amanda used to work here as a hostess!!) If you are going for dinner, reservations are highly recommended. They also have a great happy hour out on their point deck, which doesn't require a reservation!

  • Napili Bay- Known for its white sand and calm turquoise waters, an outer reef protects the bay, making it ideal for snorkeling and seeing turtles. The Sea House restaurant sits on Napili Beach and offers beautiful views for happy hour.

  • Honoula Bay- Protected marine reserve is a great spot for snorkeling. The bay has a rocky shoreline rather than a sandy beach. To get there, you’ll walk about 10 minutes through a lush forest. Even if you skip snorkeling, the walk alone is worth seeing.

  • Paia - Take an afternoon to explore Paia, a historic and bohemian beach town on Maui’s North Shore. You’ll find local art galleries, unique shops, and lots of great places to eat. Our favorite restaurant in Paia, and all of Maui, is the Paia Fish Market.

  • Ioa Valley State Park- Located in Central Maui, this valley is rich in cultural and spiritual significance. A paved 0.6-mile walk provides a scenic view of the ‘Iao Needle’. There are additional hikes and trails you can explore while there.  Reservations are required and can be made using the provided link: https://gostateparks.hawaii.gov/iao-valley

  • Road to Hana- Scenic 64-mile highway known for its narrow, winding roads and over 50 bridges. The drive takes at least three hours, though we recommend allowing a full day to enjoy the journey. Please drive carefully, as the route includes many sharp turns. If you plan to visit Hana, we recommend stopping at Honokalani Black Sand Beach.
